Elise Mertens Hires German Coach Dieter Kindlmann
In the midst of a breakout season, Belgium’s
Elise Mertens
has made a coaching change. The World No.15 has hired German coach
Dieter Kindlmann
, who has previously worked as
Maria Sharapova
’s hitting partner and been a coach of
Madison Keys
,
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova
and
Laura Robson
.
Kindlmann, 36 and a former World No.130, helped guide Keys to the U.S. Open final last season before the pair parted ways this May.
22-year-old Mertens reached the Australian Open semifinal this January and owns three WTA titles this season. She is 11th in the WTA’s race to Singapore standings.
"I think it was time for a change because you need somebody who has the experience already," Mertens told WTA Insider
Courtney Nguyen
this week at San Jose
. "I'm ranked No.15 and I'm trying to go upwards and I think he's a person who can help me."
Mertens was previously coached by
Robbe Ceyssens
and later,
Rick Vleeshouvers
.
She’s hoping that Kindlmann can take her higher.
“I think after Australia I realized that I had it in me,” she said. “You always have to believe in yourself. Sometimes it's more difficult than others. But I believe I can do great stuff and go upwards."
